I welcome the president's comment. Indeed, the building of a properous liberia demands the participations of all liberians, abroad and at home. However, the govt of liberia needs to relax some rules; ie, tax relief for liberian citizens who which to ship vital items that may ease some of the constraints citizens face in monorovia. I'm not suggesting a permanent tax relief, but atleast 3years tax relief to allow liberians abroad to export items that are so needed in Liberia.

Your suggestion is quite in place but not every Liberian abroad has has this "Good Samaritan Heart" to care for the people when they bring these vital items to Liberia. Instead of selling cheap to the people,they will rather give their consignments to Lebanese,Indians and other Traders to sell at higher prices to the populace.Such can be negociated with the Ministry of Commerce. It is true now, for every Liberian to join in the Human and Nation Building. Try and organize a Liberian-US-Diasporas meeting to collectively present this idea to the Government. I believe,my President,your President' and our President Mama Ellen J. Sirleaf, will positively do something about it.Cheers Brother.

It's so scaring to really make contributions from overseas when families and friends cannot be trusted.You are ripped off and poisoned if possible,when you try to make some investments.Our people need to be educated in this regard.

Right so...The poisoning and the black magics are active practices all over Africa. In Liberia , the situation is even worse with the Dictatorship of the Americo Liberians at the best and their Black Racist State) , now since the Blacks got in power in America... We will live an see how far they can go. The concept of development must be defined in whose benefit, at such...Shame on the Chinese that help to keep such regime in power...
